Terminal 5: My Condolences
20/04/2008 by Jon.
If you weren’t aware, the go-live of the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow didn’t go too well. I don’t know anyone involved and to be honest I don’t know yet what has really been going on. I’d just like to pass on my condolences to all the technical staff, engineers, software designers and testers involved. I can only imagine the grief you have been through in the last few weeks. Hey, we all have teething problems when systems go live, but not in the full glare of the media.
Stick with it guys. You will get there.

Google opens new front in war with Microsoft
19/04/2008 by Jon.
Just when Microsoft thought it couldn’t get any worse, Google have hit another crippling blow to the software behemoth.
I’m happy to admit that I am of an age such that the first flight simulators to come out (in monochrome) were really cool; and I mean REALLY cool. I spent many frustrating hours trying to get that aircraft to take off from Chicago’s O’Hare airport with little success. The point is that Microsoft’s Flight Simulator holds a special place in the annals of software history.
Imagine my amazement when the latest version of Google Earth comes with a flight simulator built in!
Those guys in Redmond must be quaking in their shoes. What next? A first person shooter in Google Earth? Stranger things have happened.
